I cruise 3-4 times a year...mostly on CARNIVAL. We had a 7 day out of Miami on the Carnival Liberty for Oct 9-16. The wife and I said " We're passing right by West Palm, so let's Leave 2 days earlier and check this Bahamas Celebration out". Which is exactly what we did.
We arrived in WP the morning of the 7th. It was an 3 min wait in line to we arrived at the Valet Parking station. They unloaded our luggage and Parked our car for us...never asked for a tip...was VERY polite.
5 min later, we were walking onto the ship...just that fast!!!
Initially we booked a room for $159 ea, but we upgraded to a suite for an additional $150. Which was worth every penny. This boat is NOT what the cry babies on here say it is.
I was more then impressed, the whole 2 days.
The food is every bit of what Carnival serves. The shows verge on being BETTER, The ship itself was very clean and I seen nothing out of place. People on here have complained about the A/C. IT WAS WORKING AT 110% . Almost Too Cold. The ship has a little age to it but it still is a beautiful ship. How someone could complain about this ship is beyond me.
I've read reviews on here about people not liking the way the food was served!!! You have 2 choices for dinning on this ship. The "Fancy" dinning room serves your whole meal at your table. The other dinning room allows you to serve your self(which I preferred), it is still a NO shorts/T-shirt dinning room, While dinning here, waiters come around to tables with various meats (VERY delicious) on swords, and cut you small samples. I liked it. There is also a Italian "Deli" that is a buffet type place that serves pizza,pasta and all kinds of salads...very good also.
I'll say it again...THIS SHIP IS NOT WHAT the CRY BABIES SAY IT IS!!!!
I was not bothered once about any Time Share thing....The so called annoying announcement are no more than any other ship trying to sell you excursions or on board services. The bothersome people offering you drinks is normal on any ship!!!!
I didn't get to see the "SMALL" cabins the people complain about on here but You can always up grade for a small fee.
When we got to the Bahamas, we opted for the "My Lucaya" beach party...only $69 ea. They provided a bus to the resort, which is VERY nice, and it comes with an all you can eat lunch.
The casino (my hangout) was pretty much like any other ship.
Overall, I was VERY impressed and happy with what I received for the money. So was the wife. The ONLY complaint I could possibly have was for the bed, which was hard. Only 2 nights? We dealt with it, no biggie.
If your thinking about this cruise...go for it. If your one of the CRY BABIES that say "Oh, there's a stain on the carpet" or "The elevators are so slow" or "The water is too cold/hot" and my vacation is ruined !!!, Then you'd better not go. This boat is for people looking to have FUN, not for complainers.
I will definitely go again...ASAP.
